Diana Kennedy
Diana Kennedy, "the Julia Child of Mexican cooking" was with us at McIntyre's on May 4th for a fabulous culinary author event. Diana is a real spitfire; she doesn't mince words and doesn't compromise on ingredients or process. She entertained the crowd (full to capacity!) with stories of seeking out authentic recipes by traveling the Mexican countryside and talking with cooks, many times making the trip multiple times - once over thirty kilometers of washboard gravel road - to come back to get the exact ingredients and techniques. We have signed copies of her book The Art of Mexican Cooking available in the shop now!

LynnE Rossetto Kasper
McIntyre's Fine Books was honored to host a reading and discussion with Lynne Rossetto Kasper on April 10th. Kasper, who has captivated radio listeners for many years as co-host of NPR's The Splendid Table, spoke to an equally enthralled audience of over 200 guests in The Fearrington Barn. In addition to discussing her new cookbook, The Splendid Table's How To Eat Supper, she also shared insights into the evolution of food shows in the media, the importance of individuals and restaurants buying from local suppliers, the history of agriculture in society and much more. We would like to thank Lynne, as well as everyone who joined us to make this event such a success. 

Pedestal Pick
Each month our staff picks a favorite new book and we place it 'on a pedestal' in the front of the store. Our current Pedestal Pick is The Lee Bros Southern Cookbook by Matt Lee and Ted Lee

**2007 James Beard Award winner - we have signed copies available!

"From the New York Times food writers who defended lard and demystified gumbo comes a collection of exceptional southern recipes for everyday cooks. The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook tells the story of the brothers' culinary coming-of-age in Charleston - how they triumphed over their northern roots and learned to cook southern without a southern grandmother."  - Jamie
